World Antimicrobial Awareness Week 2022 was observed from 18 - 24 November 2022 at CSIR-Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology. Amongst the various activities that happened at the institute during the week, some conversations also followed. One such conversation is on the effect of AMR on animals and in veterinary science. In the part 1 of our 5th episode, Bharat (PhD student in Neeru Saini's lab at CSIR-IGIB) talks about it with V P Singh, Senior Technical Officer at CSIR-IGIB.

Visit @igibsocial on Twitter/Instagram to participate in the AMR short story competition that will go on till 15 December 2022.

Today as we enter a New year, we bring to you a retrospect of the marvelous scientific advancements and developments in the year 2021. We interacted with a few of our colleagues at CSIR-IGIB for their views and opinions regarding the scientific advancements in various fields of science. 

While relishing the memories of the past year let us hope that we will be able to cross more milestones this year and step into pandemic free upcoming years!
